Brotteaux, a railway station built in the 19th century, has now been converted into an auction hall, with its original mosaic facade preserved. It is a brewery as well as an art nouveau masterpiece that was created in 1913 by Gilardoni, a ceramist famous for the Paris metro entrances.

Opalines, mouldings and hand-painted tiles with plant motifs, a carved wooden counter, ceramics, an œil-de-bœuf, magnificent chandeliers and mirrors, large leather benches: this picturesque place has served as a location for the shooting of several films, including «  Le coût de la Vie » and « Vieille Canaille » featuring Pierre Richard and Michel Serrault in 1992. A beautiful decor that, nonetheless, does not let one forget chef Laurent Morel's simple delights, like the Angus beef rare and tender fillet, Saint-Jacques scallops in caramel truffle or cappuccino ceps in foie gras; and to accompany them, a lovely variety of wines from across all boundaries.
